Systems Safety Engineer

Description

The System Safety Engineer ensures the safety and reliability of complex systems by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing mitigation strategies throughout the system lifecycle.

• Align identified hazards and safety-significant functions to the implementing systems, subsystems, hardware, software, and communications.
• Develop and maintain traceability between hazards, safety requirements, design elements, mitigations, and verification evidence.
• Support identification and classification of Safety Significant Functions (SSF) and implementing items.
• Support development and management of Software Control Categories (SCC) and Software Criticality Indices (SwCI).
• Support maturation and maintenance of the FHA and Hazard Tracking System (HTS) as the vehicle design evolves.
• Evaluate system architecture and proposed design controls against identified hazards and required risk reduction.
• Work with third-party suppliers to review and assess safety-case evidence and determine whether supplier safety arguments, analyses, assumptions, and constraints adequately address the safety responsibilities of the supplied component or subsystem.
• Identify gaps between supplier safety evidence and vehicle-level safety requirements.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of systems safety engineering experience required. Preferably 5 years or more. 
• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering.
• Knowledge and experience with the processes, work products, and analysis methods of MIL-STD-882E and/or ISO 26262.
• Working knowledge of DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4761 and ARP4754 desirable.
• Perform and support safety analysis at the system, subsystem, and component levels.
• Experience performing FMEA/FMECA; FMEDA experience preferred.
• US Citizen or Green Card Holder
